Thanks for the comments! I appreciate them - especially after 27 blog entries.
oldtool - Thanks. The patience is a bit easier since I can work on other things. Plus it takes time to figure out next steps sometimes.
duckmilk - I was thinking the same thing. I started looking for a Beetle in 2022, bought mine in 23, and spent a year getting it in good shape. I'm turning 66 this year and should get it home later this summer.
SplinterGroup - I doubt I'll do this again but Michael might be able to benefit from it. I also saved the forms for building the panelsĀ
Ron - Most of Michael's clients are not as involved. He's been fun to work with and we are figuring out things as we go.
